The Microsoft Volume Activation Management Tool ("VAMT") is part of Microsoft Volume Activation 2.0 and allows organizations to manage the activation of their Windows and Windows Server computers using Multiple Activation Key (MAK) keys. It enables administrators to automate and centrally manage a range of activities related to Windows client, Windows Server, and Office 2010 activation. A Multiple Activation Key will perform a one time activation of PCs against Microsoft. Once the computers are activated they require no further communication with Microsoft. The number of computers that can be activated with a specific MAK is based on the type and level of the organization's volume license agreement with Microsoft.
